Love it Ken looks really good mate. Dents would look cool and maybe a broken slate or two in the front grill wouldn't look outta place. Keep the pictures coming CURRENT BUILDS

That's a wonderful aged effect you've got going on this build. I can see that in a lock-up garage awaiting a restorer to discover it !!

Hi all well I got £100 off my boss for xmas so ordered some gold leaf for the infamous ship a 1/16 revell VW Karmenn Ghia and managed to find German 1/8 machine gun for this dio 29.99 (bit pricey and it's not even a kit) I figure the effort I've put into this and the cost of the kit it will be worth it (yes it's a German machine gun but I figure they could have stolen it) Ken's the name modeling's the game.

Given that this is such a beautiful and expensive kit, I am struggling to understand why anyone would want to do this to it? Sorry, I know it's your model and you are free to build it how you want, but I just don't get what's going on here and it breaks my heart to see such a beautiful kit being treated in this way?     
Just my opinion of course, and sorry if it causes offence but I felt so strongly about it that I had to say something!?

I understand your point of view but I bought this kit with the initial idea of putting it in barn, in a far more advanced stage of decay than it presently is or in a field with a tree growing out of it (I got the inspiration from seeing one in just such a setting ) but then someone suggested having it readied by the French resistance for a raid, I liked the sound of them getting hold of the only runner they could find, and so that is how it went this way. I was always going to build it weathered. You are of course entitled to your point of view,this is just me trying to explain my idea behind it. Personally I hardly ever build as pristine showroom models, I think them more interesting to build, and look at weathered (I'm not in any way saying those who build showroom models are wrong in any way, that is their chosen style, this is mine) no offence taken and I hope nothing I have said here is offensive to you. Ken's the name modeling's the game.
